RATED WELD OUTPUT

To obtain full rated output from this unit, it is necessary to select, prepare, and install proper weld cables. Failure to comply in any of these areas may result in unsatisfactory welding performance.

A. Weld Cable Selection

Use the following guidelines to select weld cables:

1.Use the shortest possible cables, and place cables close together. Excessive cable lengths may reduce output or cause unit overload due to added resistance.

2.Use weld cable with an insulation voltage rating equal to or greater than the maximum open-cir- cuit voltage (ocv) of the welding generator (see Table 3-1 for unit maximum ocv rating).

3.Select weld cable size according to maximum weld output and total length of connecting cables in weld circuit. For example, if a 25 foot (7.5 m) wire feeder or electrode holder cable is used with a 25 foot (7.5 m) work cable, select the cable size recommended in Table 4-1 for 50 feet (15 m).

4.Do not use damaged or frayed cables.

B.Weld Cable Preparation

1.Install electrode holder to cable following man- ufacturer’s instructions. Always use an insulated electrode holder to ensure operator safety.

2.Install correct size lugs onto ends of both cables for connecting to work clamp, electrode holder or wire feeder, and weld output terminals.

3.Install work clamp onto cable.

C.Weld Output Connections

WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

Do not touch live electrical parts.

Stop engine, and disconnect negative (−) bat- tery cable before making any weld output connections.

MOVING PARTS can cause serious injury.

Keep away from moving parts such as fans, belts, and rotors.

1.Open and secure the lower front panel access door, and route weld cables through bracket on front upright to the weld output terminals (see Figure 4-2).
